Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off.

Well, today is both Easter AND April Fools' Day, so why not celebrate with the one video game that will let you do both at once? Postal 2 for all its infamy is still an Unreal Engine 2 game that uses OpenAL. As such, you can get incredibly immersive spatialized audio by replacing the default .dlls with OpenAL Soft. It breathes a whole new life into the sandbox environment of Paradise, AZ. The binaural audio quality seems to be on-par with a typical UE2 game: not as accurate as Shadow Ops: Red Mercury, but not as flat as SWAT 4.
